2 ** Source tree organization
4 ******************************************************
6 examples/ -> Supposed to be copy/pastable by the user, so keep it clear and
7 avoid any kind of trick. In particular, do only include the
10 teshsuite/ -> The more test the better. Put in there any strange test
11 doing things that the users are not supposed to do,
12 just to see if our framework is robust to incorrect and
13 unusual behaviors. All tests written in this section
14 should leverage our tesh(1) utility.
17 ** NEW type naming standard in SimGrid4
19 *****************************************************
21 SimGrid4 will follow the these rules:
23 - filenames are unique in the whole project
24 (because of a bug in Sonar coverage computation)
26 - fields, methods and variables are in snake_case()
27 - Classes and Enum names are in UpperCamelCase
28 - Enum values are in UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (as constants)
29 - public filenames: api_Class.cpp and api/Class.hpp.
30 - Example: src/s4u/s4u_ConditionVariable.cpp and
31 include/simgrid/s4u/ConditionVariable.hpp
32 - If you prefer api_class.cpp, that's OK, too. Breath and relax.
33 Example: src/s4u/s4u_actor.cpp and include/simgrid/s4u/Actor.hpp
34 - internal/kernel filenames: Class.cpp and Class.hpp
35 - Example: src/kernel/activity/Activity.cpp
36 include/simgrid/activity/Activity.hpp
38 - variables and functions are in snake_case()
39 - typedefs do not hide the pointers, ie * must be explicit
40 char * sg_host_get_name(sg_host_t * host);
43 This is different from the old convention (described below), that
44 should not be used in S4U and its bindings, nor in the kernel.
47 ** OLD Type naming standard in SimGrid3
49 *****************************************************
51 SimGrid3 legacy interfaces (ie, MSG and SimDag) are following these rules:
53 - ???_t is a valid type (built with typedef)
54 - s_toto_t is a structure (access to fields with .)
55 - s_toto is a structure needing 'struct' keyword to be used
57 - u_toto_t is an union
58 - u_toto is an union needing 'union' keyword to be used
59 - toto_t is an 'object' (struct*)
61 Please to not call toto_t something else than an 'object' (ie, something you
62 have to call _new and _free on it).
65 typedef struct s_toto {} s_toto_t, *toto_t;
66 typedef enum {} e_toto_t;
68 Moreover, only toto_t (and e_toto_t) are public. The rest (mainly s_toto_t)
71 If you see any part of the code not following this convention, this is a
72 bug. Please report it (or fix it yourself if you can).
75 ** Commenting the source: doxygen
77 ****************************************************
79 The global structure of the documentation is in doc/modules.doc
81 The structure of each module (xbt, msg, etc) is in doc/module-<module>.doc
83 The structure of a module is in its public header. This way, you're sure to
84 see all the public interface (and only it). The different parts of the
85 interface are grouped using the @name construct, even if it's buggy. Since
86 parts often get reordered, it's better to add numbers to the parts (so that
87 users can see the intended order).
89 The documentation of each type and macro are also in the public header since
90 this is were they live.
92 The documentation of each function must be in the C file were it lives.
94 Any public element (function, type and macro) must have a @brief part.

99 ********************************
100 * When you add/remove files, and/or make changes in the lists of files to build,
101 please check that "make distcheck" still succeeds. This is needed to ensure
102 that the generated archive is consistent.
